4-mile out and back trail, spend the day exploring the island! $140 per person
Description: Easy. This hike begins at the campground dock and then starts a boardwalk trail, which eventually turns to dirt but it is all an easy stroll hike to the light-house grounds. In a few places along the trail there are remnants of a distant past when the island was a booming small farm and fishing community in the early part of the 1900’s. Bonus from the hiking trail there is an excellent view of the sea caves on Sand Island. There are also 2 beautiful beaches to enjoy!
Private Tour Pricing: 1-3 people – $520 total; 4 people – $620 total; 5-6 people – regular per person price.

A flat-ish hike that will take you to the singing sands beach on Julian Bay, through the woods, or around the lagoon on the island. Since Stockton was originally 2 separate islands and that then merged together long ago, there are some amazing flora that you can’t find on any of the other Apostle Islands, along with rolling hills of moss!
